Answer:

X=4

Explanation:

The line that is perpendicular to y

= −3 is a horizontal line, because horizontal and vertical lines (x- and y- axes for example) are perpendicular. Therefore, this line will take the form x

=n where n is the x

-coordinate of the point passed through. The x

-coordinate of the given ordered pair (4,−6) is 4, so the equation must be x=4
